Apache Directory Server as Policy Store for the Policy Server

Hello,has anyone configured the Apache Directory Server as an LDAP Server to hold the Policy Store for the Policy Server?Is it even possible to use it instead of ADAM, CA Directory or Sun Java Sistem Directory which I've seen in the documentation that are supported? Thank you!

A quick 'Google' reveals that Apache uses the same RFC or its predecessors (4512, 2251, 2252, 2256, 3674) as many other directories to define schema. If you do an "smldapsetup ldgen" against something like Oracle Internet Directory or SunOne or look at pretty much any of the LDIF files in the tier-2 directory integration package (available at CA Support "downloads") you will find a good starting point. If this is an intellectual exercise feel free to carry on - I have done this myself before... however if this is being done for a real business purpose I would not recommend it. As soon as you seek official support for this configuration you will be told to go and use a supported policy store. Regards- Steve

Hello Steve, You're right, installing what SiteMinder supports is best.At the moment I wasn't able to find out the supported third party matrix and I didn't knew if Apache Directory Server was or not supported.Now I'm using Sun Directory. Thank you!
